windows folder gone. HELP

[Guest]

Hello,

I just installed XP/sp2 and the windows folder is not showing in explorer.
Going through "cmd" it's still on the computer.

I also cannot change my keyboard to UK settings, though these are set in
regional/language settings.

Can anyone shed some light on how what to do ?

From Command prompt run:
Attrib -s -h C:\Windows
Attrib +S c:\windows



Good Luck, Ayush.

Hello Ayush,

tried it but no joy.
the strange thing is that the windows folder shows up fine in PowerQuest
image explorer.

Actually I just remembered that I had a virus on the system today
(system32wxbp.exe) so that might have caused it.

Run the following commands on command prompt and post the output:
Attrib C:\Windows
Type C:\WIndows\Desktop.ini



Good Luck, Ayush.
